Abstract: The invention described herein pertains generally to a cross-linked plumbing tube (18) which has at least one overmolded end (2) (e.g., nose cone or nut) attached thereto. In one aspect of this invention, the tube (18) is more rigid than the overmolded component (2) while in another aspect of the invention, the tube (18) is more flexible than the overmolded component (2). In either embodiment of this invention, the tube (18) provides an all-plastic waterway for a contained liquid or gas to flow through. The degree of flexibility is controlled independently controlling the density of the tube polymer and the overmolding polymer. In one aspect of the invention, the tube (18) and the overmolding polymer are both partially cross-linked to independent first degrees prior to the overmolding process. Subsequent to the overmolding process, the cross-linking is continued to a higher degree for both polymers.

Title: Process for preparing fluorinated benzyl alcohols and benzaldehydes
Inventor: WIEDEMANN JUERGEN
IPC: C07C29/141
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: Fluorinated benzaldehydes are obtainable in a simple and inexpensive manner and in significantly improved yields when chlorinated benzaldehydes are reacted with alkali metal fluorides at temperatures in the range from about 130 to 200°C in the presence of less than about 2 mol% of quaternary phosphonium salts, based on chlorine atoms to be replaced, at initial concentrations of more than 2.5 mol of the chlorinated benzaldehydes per kg of dipolar aprotic solvent. Fluorinated benzaldehydes obtained in this way can advantageously be hydrogenated with hydrogen in the presence of noble metal catalysts to give fluorinated benzyl alcohols.

Title: Method of making arylamino triazolopyridines
Inventor: BAKTHAVATCHALAM RAJAGOPAL
IPC: A61K31/437
Filed: 1998-03-19
Abstract: Amphipathic lyric peptides are ideally suited to use in a ligand/cytotoxin combination to specifically inhibit cells that are driven by or are dependent upon a specific ligand interaction; for example, to induce sterility or long-term contraception, or to attack tumor cells, or to selectively lyse virally-infected cells, or to attack lymphocytes responsible for autoimmune diseases. The peptides act directly on cell membranes, and need not be internalized. Administering a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (or a GnRH agonist) and a membrane-active lyric peptide produces long-term contraception or sterilization in animals in vivo. Administering in vivo a combination of a ligand and a membrane-active lyric peptide kills colts with a receptor for the ligand. The compounds are relatively small, and are not antigenic. Lysis of gonadotropes has been observed to be very rapid (on the order of ten minutes). Lysis of tumor cells is rapid. The two components -the ligand and the lyric peptide- may optionally be administered as a fusion peptide, or they may be administered separately, with the ligand administered slightly before the lyric peptide, to activate cells with receptors for the ligand, and thereby make those cells susceptible to lysis by the lyric peptide. The compounds may be used in gene therapy to treat malignant or non-malignant tumors, and other diseases caused by clones or populations of "normal" host cells bearing specific receptors (such as lymphocytes), because genes encoding a lyric peptide or encoding a lyric peptide/peptide hormone fusion may readily be inserted into hematopoietic stem cells or myeloid precursor cells.

Title: Efficient down conversion system for 2:1 decimation
Inventor: KIM HEE-YONG
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: An HDTV down conversion system including an apparatus for forming a low resolution 2:1 down converted video signal from an encoded video signal representing a video image. The encoded video signal is a frequency-domain transformed high resolution video signal with motion prediction. The apparatus includes a receiver for receiving encoded video signals as a plurality of high resolution frequency-domain video coefficient values. A down conversion filter receives and weights the high resolution frequency-domain video coefficient values to form a set of low passed frequency-domain video coefficients. An inverse-transform processor transforms the set of frequency-domain video coefficients into a set of pixel values. An averaging filter transforms selected ones of the pixel values in the set of pixel values into averaged pixel values. A decimating processor deletes selected ones of the set of pixel values to provide the low resolution video signal.

Title: Software for seamless interconnectivity between active program modules on integrated arrangement of cd drive, data server and pc hard disk drive
Inventor: SANFORD JESSE L
IPC: H04W28/00
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: The software program provides a unique arrangement and integration of CD drive, data server, and PC hard disk drive technologies. The program provides open- ended, flexible, and timely updating of software programs and content for users at a remote site because the user can download individual updated program modules as needed from a designated information site through a data server to a PC hard disk drive during a program run. Therefore, the user is not required to download the updated program, await the next release of a CD containing the updated program, or use the updated program directly on a designated information site. In addition to the program modules on the CD, the user can use downloaded updated program modules from either the current or a previous program run. The updated program modules are either replacements for those on the CD or additional program modules to the entire program. The program includes linking software, such that each of the program modules on both the CD and the PC hard disk drive contains an identical yet independent software interface that allows interconnecting to all other program modules. Because the user may also download updated program modules from the designated information site to the PC hard disk drive as needed during a program run, the present invention provides seamless interactivity between program modules on the CD, downloaded program modules on the PC hard disk drive, and replacement or additional program modules at the designated information site.

Title: Device for forming holes in tissue
Inventor: HOLMES DAVID R
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: A surgical instrument for creating holes of a predetermined diameter and depth in body tissue comprises a tubular catheter having a compression spring affixed at its distal end and attached to the distal end of that spring is a tissue ablating device which may, for example, comprise an electrosurgical monopolar or bipolar electrode that is connected by conductors extending through the lumen of the catheter to an electrosurgical generator at its proximal end. When the instrument is brought in contact with target tissue with a force sufficient to compress the coils of the spring against one another and then ablating energy applied, tissue will be removed as the spring is allowed to expand out to its uncompressed length. The depth of the hole thus created is equal to the difference between the lengths of the spring when compressed and uncompressed. If desired, a suitable drug can be delivered into the thus created hole via a lumen in the catheter.
